The End of an Era

The movie theater in my hometown has been abandoned for almost a year now. I recently took building photos, because I'm sure it will be torn down soon. The tragedy mask says it all....

Great shot and sad it will be torn down.

A beautiful mural! It's good that you are documenting with photos just in case, but I'm hoping for a return.

[Mike]

Great find. Snap it before it’s too late.

Tragedy was a well known theater show, could be Shakespear. The masks say it all, another lost building. FAV from me.

[Lou Ann]

A lovely remembrance of this theater. The movie industry story has really been scrambling to survive Covid.

[Bep]

A beautiful mural and a nice memory.

Documentation is very important!

We have an empty one sitting with a mural of our lighthouse on it. The local acting group bought it in the hope of turning it from movie theater to plays but it had too many expensive fixes required and years later still sits empty.

Lovely to photograph places before they are gone.

Beautiful artwork. Sad that it has closed. We have a theater here with a similar story

[Susan Wakely]

Great shot to add to the story. So sad if this should happen.

Great capture to record so called "progress"...

Perfect capture of the new norm, such a sad state of affairs world wide.

Smart of you to take the photos. This one has a spectacula Composition. Someday someone will be glad you took the trouble.

Sad. You captured a lovely mural.

Such a wonderful mural. I hope that this wonderful brick building is repurposed rather than leveled.

I can see why you photographed this its eye catching and so fitting of course to a theater. Sorry to hear its been abandoned - makes me sad things like this, like dreams that fell short
